Azusa Pacific University

Azusa Pacific University is a private non-profit institution located in Azusa, California, with an enrollment of approximately 2,759 students. The university admits the large majority of applicants — its acceptance rate of 88.4% means that most people who apply are offered admission. Of those who enroll, 84% return for their second year, and 61.8% graduate within the standard timeframe measured by federal reporting.

Published tuition is $44,458 per year and is the same for in-state and out-of-state students. The average annual net price — the total cost of attendance, including tuition, fees, and living expenses, after grant and scholarship aid is applied — is $22,212. This figure reflects what students actually pay on average once aid is factored in, and it covers all student costs, not tuition alone. About 35.2% of students receive Pell Grants, a federal aid program for students with financial need.

Among the programs relevant to career-focused adult learners, Azusa Pacific offers training in statistics, which may be of interest to those pursuing data-oriented careers.

Nearly half of all enrolled students — 47.8% — take out federal student loans. Among students who completed a credential, the median federal loan debt is $23,219. Sixty-four percent of borrowers are actively reducing their loan balances within three years of entering repayment, meaning their monthly payments are covering at least the interest accruing on their debt.

Median earnings of $66,677 are reported ten years after enrollment. This figure is measured across all federally-aided students who enrolled at the university, including those who did not complete a degree or credential, so it reflects a broad range of outcomes rather than the earnings of graduates alone.
